Call for Alt+Tab talks
by Computer Science Club 23 Oct '17

23 Oct '17

Hi Everyone, The CS Club will be running an "Alt+Tab" short talks event at 6pm on Thursday November 9th. Members will be giving short 10-15 minute talks on interesting programming-related topics. If you'd like to give a talk (please do, we have lots of slots!) contact me by emailing tghume(a)uwaterloo.ca with your name and a preliminary talk title (you can change it later if you want). In the past people have talked about the things they learned or built in their previous co-op term, done short introductions to new programming languages, and taught others about something interesting they learned. Examples of past talk titles include "Stepping into math: building a step-by-step algebra solver”, "Typed Racket", "Online database migrations at scale” and “How your text editor does syntax highlighting”. There's lots of things you can talk about and it's a good environment to give your first talk, so go ahead and sign up! - Tristan Hume Treasurer & Programs Committee Computer Science Club

Unix 101 - Tonight at 5:30 in MC 3003
by Computer Science Club 12 Oct '17

12 Oct '17

Hi all, Unix 101 will be held tonight (October 12) at 5:30 pm in MC 3003. New to the Linux computing environment? If you seek an introduction, look no further (you can if you want we're not the police). Topics that will be covered include basic interaction with the shell and the motivations behind using it, and an introduction to compilation. You'll have to learn this stuff in CS 246 anyways, so why not get a head start! If you're interested in attending, make sure you can log into the Macs on the third floor, or show up to the CSC office (MC 3036) 20 minutes early for some help.
